Troll

Trolls

Trolls can be found throughout the world of Skyrim and can be tough enemies. A troll's health regenerates quickly from the average wound, but they are more susceptible to fire, making it the key component to coming out on top in a battle with a troll.

Variations

Along with regular trolls, you may come across Frost Trolls.

The most fearsome of their kind, Frost Trolls are found in the Mountain ridges and Northern Sections of Skyrim. All trolls regenerate health quickly, turning a small fight into a drawn out battle for your life, but all trolls are also vulnerable to fire. Burn wounds don't heal as quickly as other wounds inflicted on the trolls and gives destruction mages an edge when fighting them.

One will definitely be found on the path to High Hrothgar, home of the Graybeards, along with a potential dragon, the two will actually fight each other as well as you, so I recommend joining the Dragon and attacking the troll before turning to finish off the blood dragon.

Fighting Tips

As mentioned above, Trolls are very strong, both offensively and defensively. Keep your distance from their strong melee attacks, but stay on the ranged attack! If you don't keep attacking them, their health with regenerate as you're running. Use fire spells or fire enchanted weapons to make quick work of them.
